Gentoo There have been many articles as of late about the so called "source" distributions of Linux. Articles about "rpm hell" and how to get out of it. While I have been using Red Rat since the first release (and do have some things for and against it) there is no distribution that will please all of the people all of the time. Then again, that is what makes an OS like Linux nice, in my opinion. Choices. Today, Gentoo Linux is my choice.

Yes, download the Stage 3 Tarball, burn it on a CD (or buy the CD) and then the gentoo installation will be faster. You will still need to download X+KDE/Gnome though via modem if you want X with a window environment. And that is about 200+ MB worth of downloads...
